experiencing. In fact, if King Shakir were presented
this recycling was done, or
even upcycling, which is a
step ahead of this, many
environmental disasters
could be prevented. In this
sense, scientists actually
constantly make warnings.
The movie tells exactly
about this. As mentioned
in the story of the movie;
in a world polluted due
to environmental factors,
garbage is collected and
launched into space with
a rocket, despite all the
warnings of our "Mirket"
character, the scientist in the
movie. However, since the
galaxy was later polluted,
the aliens return to Earth to
take revenge, but the movie
ends with a surprise ending.
It really has a very surprising
finale.
"King Shakir: Recycle" was
a very good movie. The
United Nations Development
Programme even printed
the poster of this movie
on a calendar. Many topics
covered in King Shakir
cartoon, from quality
education to the climate
crisis, are very parallel to
the 17 global goals of the
United Nations Development
Programme. There were also
sections from King Shakir's
episodes on the pages of
the calendar. They have
also done this with Angry
Birds and Smurfs characters
around the world. For the
first time in the world, these
messages from Türkiye with
You brought us Türkiye's
to the children of the world
with a sustainability calendar
prepared. This is truly one
of our most important
achievements.
The movie “King Shakir:
Recycle” had very good
feedback in this sense. Even
speaking of feedbacks; the
first reactions from those
who watched the movie
were very good. The children
immediately started giving
warnings to their parents,
such as "Mommy, don't throw
it away, we can recycle it.".
Because we tell our stories
and messages in a very
entertaining way; in fact, as
soon as the child watches
the cartoon, he immediately
internalizes it and begins to
directly apply our message
that can be beneficial to the
world. In this sense, the film
has a huge impact.
Your book “King Shakir:
Recycle” also hit the
shelves recently. What
would you like to say about
the book?
Of course, we are very happy.
It was a very nice book, I can
say that it has the best visual
quality we have published
to date. When I held it in my
hands, I really thought, "This
is a sweet book". I really really
like the book. It also makes
me happy that the message
we give about recycling is
now reaching audiences and
readers through the book.
first cartoon series for
adults, Fırıldak Family.
What were the first Samsun E-Magazine
reactions you received in
this process where you
broke new ground?
When "Fırıldak Family" was
first broadcast, we said that
it was "Türkiye's first cartoon
series for adults". At first
it was compared to "The
Simpsons" and "Family Guy".
It was seen as an imitation
of these. Actually, this is
a genre called "animated
sitcom". This is the first time
a study of this type has been
conducted in Türkiye. Later,
when the Fırıldak Family
was truly understood by the
audience, they started to say
that it was better than foreign
productions. We already
thought it would be like this.
Because a humor production
that tells about the life of
this country, the experiences
of a Turkish family and that
has flourished in a culture
that belongs to us, directly
penetrates our soul. In this
sense, it is truly loved more
than foreign productions
right now.
I receive hundreds of
messages every day asking
for the new season of the
Fırıldak Family series to start
as soon as possible. One
day we will actually start the
Fırıldak Family, but we are
currently trying to create the
necessary groundwork for
this. We are talking to 29
